“Remedies for the Exonerated” - California

The Report of the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice on “Remedies for the Exonerated” is our site of the day

Created by the California State Senate to examine the causes of wrongful convictions and make recommendations and proposals to further insure that the administration of criminal justice in California is just, fair and accurate, this commission on Friday released an important report and set of recommendations addressing the problems faced by the exonerated, and reintegration into society for all those released from custody after their convictions have been set aside.

The report and recommendation is 18 pages. All who care about liberty should read this and insist that the legislature act on its recommendations.

Reintegration into society should be a goal of the California penal system. This is especially true for those who have established their innocence after conviction of a crime who should be compensation for their wrongful imprisonment.
